(FILES)-- A file photo taken on July 6, 2015 shows a farmer harvesting wheat in a field at a farm in Vritz, near Nantes, western France. Wheat is a staple for three billion people, but those who consume the most wheat are often unable to produce it, giving the handful of exporting countries, including France, a major responsibility. According to Sebastien Abis, a researcher at the French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs (IRIS) and author of the "Geopolitics of wheat" (Ed. Armand Colin), the economic and strategic reality of the situation is far too ignored by policymakers. AFP PHOTO / JEAN-SEBASTIEN EVRARDJEAN-SEBASTIEN EVRARD/AFP/Getty Images
